So why can't we use some politeness aimed at bettering the environment
of the ML?  I can take criticism, but that doesn't mean I have to.  And
criticism phrased decently does a hell of a lot more good than phrase
the way some might want it. Just because it's milder than you've seen
elsewhere doesn't make it right, or the best way to do something.  If
someone's been around a long time and should know better, then fine, be
harsh, but if they don't know there's no call for anything other than
politeness, no matter how it is elsewhere.  So what if that's not how it
is in real life, or on the net usually.  Maybe it should be, and
anywhere where we can introduce a little common courtesy should be
taken.
